Beginning Monday, June 13, all SUNY-federated websites—websites that use the SUNY Secure Sign On page for authentication—will require employees to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) when signing in. This will include the SUNY HR Portal, Time and Attendance, Slate, Degree Works, and D2L Brightspace (Blackboard replacement). Buffalo State College is adding this new protection as part of a SUNY-wide initiative to safeguard employee privacy and data.

The MFA verification process for these websites will be the same as when signing in to campus email. You will use the verification options that you have already set up (e.g., call or text to your authentication phone). If you need to update these verification options, you can do so through the MFA setup page. Complete step-by-step instructions are available in the IT Knowledge Base.

If you have questions about multi-factor authentication, please review the MFA frequently asked questions page. You can also contact the IT Help Desk by email at ithelpdesk@buffalostate.edu, by phone at (716) 878-HELP, or in person by stopping by the office in Butler Library (on the ground floor behind the "Ask Us" counter).

Thank you for your patience as these changes are rolled out.
